MANCINI'S ANTICIDENCE BY CHIJIOKE EZEALI

Manchester City's Roberto 'Fyne guy' Mancini is a strong willed
personality like most Italians are.He had a successful spell in Italy
both as a player and a coach but now his in England the Land that loves
football even beyond holidays.

So far Mancini has won the FA Cup for
city which came last season after 35years of waiting for a trophy at the
Blue side of Manchester.This season Mancini's city sits second behind
Britian's most successful domestic clubside Manchester United with three
games to go and a Manchester Derby coming up next week Monday(8:00pm
Nigerian time).

Kudos to Mancini his team blew everyone away with some
breath-taking displays at the beginning of the season which includes a
6-1 demolition of Manchester United at Old Traford that made the world
take note of a new footballing brand powered by Oil money.oh boy! No be
beans O!

However,its not been all hurrah for the Mancini's City. At a
point during the season Mancini found it hard to control his players ego
and in fighting and when questioned by the press on the issue he simply
smiles and and tells the world that the players frustrations when they
lose are better expressed that way,huh!

Then came that faithful time in
September,a champions league match against Bayern Munich,Mr Carlos Tevez
refused to warm up as instructed by Mancini,city lost that game by two
unreplied goals and Mancini bizarrely blamed it on Carlos Tevez
ouch!give me a break coach!

Only recently Mancini told the press that
the reason Man City is not on top of the EPL is because Aguero didn't play in some
of his team matches and ref decisions,haba Oga Mancini! If I may ask;are
you the only manager with stubborn players? Are you the only manager
missing key players at crucial times in the league or are you the only
manager the ref decisions has gone against? Abegi Mr Oga!

Mancini
allowed players like Jerome Boateng,Emmanuel Adebayor and Santa Cruz to
leave his team.He choose to entrust his title charge on a striker like
hot headed Balotelli with 16goals and 3 red cards you'd say 'what a
footballer'!

But wait a minute,why the blame game? Mancini has
exceptional players like Silver,Nasri,Aguero,Tevez,Yaya Toure,Adam
Johnson,Joe Hart,Clichy,n Kompany at his disposal oh boy see team!yet he
cried for more player during the January transfer window,Ridiculous!
Well,one thing is for sure,Mancini made the media talk about other
issues surrounding his team instead of his tactics or team selection.

I
never supported Tevez or ever liked Mario 'Disaster' Balotelli(huge
potential though) or ever ignored the fact that injuries affects a team
but my point is this,every manager handles these situations and you will
never see top managers like Sir Alex Ferguson,Jose Mourinho,Arsene
Wenger or Pep Guadiola blame their players publicly.

Roberto Mancini
fooled the watching public but not me,hmm bad sharp guy,lol!. Thankfully
he's got fans support at the Ethihad to survive the sack this season and
prove to people like me that he his good enough. Untill then,its football
without beef,gracias!!
